Klinger takes Sioux City to new heights, literally, with the construction of the iconic Warrior Hotel. This 11-story marvel is celebrated as a “skyscraper” and quickly becomes a symbol of the city’s ambitions. Klinger wasn’t just building hotels—he was shaping the future of the region.

In September of 1930, W.A. Klinger was commissioned to build Heelan Hall, the very first building for Briar Cliff University, a brand-new women’s Catholic college. Perched on a picturesque hill overlooking Sioux City, this iconic structure was the cornerstone of the university’s vision for higher education. Klinger’s craftsmanship and attention to detail ensured that the building stood as a symbol of both tradition and progress for decades to come.
